Auction result misses estimated price range
In April 2012 a collector was able to acquire the work "Poet" by Benny Andrews for USD 9,375.00 (€ 7,086.70). This price was achieved in the auction American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00 set by the auction house. Other works by Benny Andrews have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in May last year by the work The Bath at USD 9,450.00 (€ 8,806.26).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im April 2012 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit "Poet" von Benny Andrews für USD 9.375,00 (€ 7.086,70) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Andere Arbeiten von Benny Andrews wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres die Arbeit The Bath mit USD 9.450,00 (€ 8.806,26).
